Where chest turns up in the game

chest is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 2, Treeline. It also sits on the board as one of the three wrong tiles in two other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.

The puzzles where chest is the trap

gutnoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is stomach, in the sense "the stomach or belly", so chest is there to be ruled out.
processnoun, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is appendage, in the sense "a natural prolongation or projection from a part of an organism either animal or plant", and chest is one of the three tiles that lose.

Play chest

The bank on this page is the bank the game plays from, so chest reaches you as a board rather than a definition: the sentence first, four tiles, and the meaning after you choose.
